Get in the mood for your Saturday night with hip hop and grime smash hits…

Rae Sremmurd and Gucci Mane - Black Beatles

Black Beatles marks both the duo Rae Sremmurd and Gucci Mane’s first number one single in America and their first appearance in the top 10 in the UK charts. The success of this song is largely down to the new trend of Mannequin Challenges. It was Colony High School’s Mannequin Challenge that used their song as the soundtrack. The duo then did their own take of this at one of their gigs.

The Weeknd – Rockin’

The Weeknd’s new album has entered the UK’s album charts at number five and it looks like

it will be a high climber with five of his songs from the album in the top 40 at the moment.

However, with Christmas coming this might be more of a challenge than he anticipated. He hasn't made a video for this tune yet, but we will keep our eyes peeled for you.

Chance the Rapper, Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz – No Problem

Chance performed this song on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Their performance started with

a people pushing papers in a record company named Generic Records. Chance then bursts

in and began his song. No Problem is, as you may have guessed it, Chance telling record

labels to leave him alone - but in a less polite way.

Stormzy – Scary

Michael Omari, better known by his stage name Stormzy, is an English grime and hip hop

act. He has won several awards including Best Grime Act 2014 and 2015 at the MOBO

Awards and was named as an artist to watch in BBC’s influential sound of 2015.

Scary is Stormzy’s first song released off his new album, which is rumoured to be launched

in summer 2017.

Skepta – Shutdown

Shutdown features on Skepta’s album Konnichiwa, which is his highest charting album

peaking at number two in the UK ablum charts. Despite Shutdown only reaching number 39

in the charts, it is now one of his best known songs.
